APPARATUS FOR CARBONATING LIQUIDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 27, 1906.

. Application filed November 4, 1904. Serial No. 281,861.

1'0 a whom, it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PAUL CLEMENS HAAN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of New Brunswick, county of Middlesex, Stateof New Jersey, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements inApparatus for Carbonating Liquids, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of my invention is to form a mixture of carbonic-acid gaswith liquids under pressure; and it consists in certain detailssimplifying construction.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification,Figure 1 is a vertical section showing my invention. Fig. 2 is a planView of a single convolution of gassupply ipe with one dcllectingplateattaehedt ereto.

The same reference characters indicate the" may be art of float l). Acasing is made as at E of which the up )cr part E is designed to containporous iltcring material and the lower 1part F to holdsuperimposedcorrugated del ccting-plates. At the ower art of receptacleA there is furnished an inet for gas consisting of a pipe coiledupwardly and perforated, as shown at G, above which is aiincly-perforateilv distributing-diaphragm, as shown at H. An externalgage I may be employed to denote theminimum height of liquid inA. S iraldeflecting-plates K are connected with t 1c coiled inlet-pipeG and maybe made of one contiT. s spiral plate or may consist of several separatesections forming a spiral conforming to the spiral of ipe G.

ills the liquid-supply pipc; M, the gas-sup ply pipe; N, the gas-controlvalve.

0 Part valves respectively controlling liquid and gas pressure-hidicatcdupon gages it, which consist of two ordinary gagcs contained in a singlecase, each having an index upon the face of the case.

S is safety gas-Valve, 'l liquid-filter, and U draft-pipe.

The operation is as follows: Liquid beinsupplied under pressure throughpipe L an filter T is distributed in a spray by inlet C on 'float Dwithin the receptacle A. Gas being supplied underpressure from tank Basses throu h pipe M to erforated coil G an is deflecte by spiral platcs K. The gas assin upwardly is distributed by the per crate diaphragmH and the deflecting-plates F. It is then caught and further caused tonlix with the liquid by the porous filtering material E. The float Dgoverns the height of the liquid in A in the ordinary manner. Theliquid-inlet C, which is carried u on float D, is adapted to spurtupwardly tirough an atmosphere of gas, thus causing the liquid and sure,an upwardly-coiled perforated gas-inlet pipe, having attached spiraldeflecting-plates, and a superimposed perforated distributin diaphragmto iffuse compressed gas througdi a body of liquid held in a receptacle.

a liquid-carbonatin apparatus comprising a tank for liquid am gas underpressure, a gas distributing and diffusin inlet comprising a verticalperforated coi with spiral deflecting-plates attached thereto, having asuperim osed casing containing a series of corrugated deflecting-platessurmounted by a stratum of porous material, to cause the union ofliquidand gas held in the containingreceptacle, by bringing them intointimate contact under pressure.
